Transplant Epidemiology
Silas P. Norman M.D. Assistant Professor
Transplant Nephrology
Fall 2008
Learning Objectives • To understand kidney transplantation
as superior to other forms of renal replacement therapy (RRT)
• To understand the advantages of living kidney donation
• To understand kidney transplantation as cost-effective over dialysis
Introduction • Over 100,000 individuals in the U.S. develop
end-stage kidney disease (ESRD) every year
• In the U.S., Diabetes (DM) and Hypertension (HTN) are most common causes of ESRD
• The prevalence of both DM and HTN are increasing leading to an epidemic of ESRD
• Kidney transplantation is a form of RRT that improves survival and quality of life in the ESRD population
Prevalent Counts and Rates of ESRD in the U.S.

Risk for All-Cause Death in ESRD by Modality
U.S. Renal Data System, ADR 2005
Transplant Demographics ~70,000 patients on deceased donor waiting
list. They are disproportionately African-American, Hispanic and female
~25,000 added yearly ~3,500 die on waiting list annually without
getting a transplant offer ~1,000 annually are removed from list b/c they
are too sick to transplant ~9000 patients transplanted from list annually
Sources of Donors • Living Donors:
– Living Related (LRD) – Living Unrelated (LURD)
• Deceased Donors: – Standard Criteria (SCD) – Extended Criteria (ECD) – Deceased Cardiac Death (DCD)
Living Donor Selection • Selection bias towards protecting donor
candidate • Living donors must be altruistic and be
healthy • Living donor contraindications:
– Diabetes Mellitus (Type 1, Type 2 or gestational*) – Hypertension (BP > 140/90) – Active malignancies, infections or substance abuse – Donor age < 18 or > 60
*Can make exception if gestational DM long ago and candidate is not currently diabetic
Advantages of Living vs. Deceased Donor Transplantation
• Pre-emptive transplantation • Less rejection • Better graft function • Longer graft survival
Deceased Donors Standard Criteria Donor (SCD)
• Age < 60 • No known kidney or vascular disease • Brain Death – due to trauma, anoxia,
stroke • Diagnosis:
– Unresponsive – Apneic – EEG or blow flow study
Deceased Donors Extended Criteria Donors
(ECD) • All donors age > 60 regardless of co-
morbidities • Donors between the ages of 50-59 who have
at least 2 of the 3 following criteria: – Stroke – Hypertension – Serum creatinine >1.5
• Generally still brain dead donors
Deceased Donors Deceased Cardiac Death (DCD)
• Cardiac death (on life support), but not brain dead – No chance of recovery – Family decides to withdrawal life support – Physician caring for patient declares them
dead – Wait 5 minutes and proceed with donation
Deceased Donor Kidney Allocation
• Waiting time – From time of acceptance at a transplant
center • Matching • Panel Reactive Antibodies > 80% • Pediatric candidate • Prior living kidney donor
Number of Transplants/Year by Donor Type
U.S. Renal Data System, ADR 2005
Recipient Selection • Selection criteria
– Bias toward offering transplant when possible – Standard of care for all causes of ESRD
• Contraindications – Severe coronary artery disease not amenable to
intervention – Severe peripheral vascular occlusive disease – Severe pulmonary disease – Active malignancies or infections – Non-adherence to medical regimen – Severe obesity or malnutrition
Advantages of Kidney Transplantation
• Improved patient survival
• Improved quality of life
• Cost effective
Outcomes of Kidney Transplantation
• One year patient survival > 95% • One year living donor graft survival
about 95% • One year deceased donor graft survival
85-90% • Transplant half-lives (years)
– Living: ~20yrs – Deceased: ~10yrs

Disadvantages of Kidney Transplantation
• Organ shortage leads to long wait times on the deceased donor list
• Morbidity associated with operation • Negative effects of Immunosuppression
– Cardiovascular disease – Infection – Malignancy – Bone disease
Pancreas Transplantation • 10% of kidney transplant recipients • Indications
– ESRD from type 1 diabetes mellitus – Hypoglycemic unawareness
• Types – Simultaneous kidney and pancreas (SPK) – Living kidney followed by pancreas (PAK) – Pancreas transplant alone (PTA)
Risk and Benefits of Pancreas Transplantation • Risks
– Increased risk of surgical complications – Increased incidence of infection – Potential for pancreas allograft rejection and
pancreatitis • Benefits
– Protection from hypoglycemia – Freedom from insulin, diabetic diet, glucose
monitoring – Stabilization of retinopathy, neuropathy – Reduced future diabetic nephrosclerosis – Improved survival?
Results of Pancreas Transplantation
• One-year patient survival > 95% • One-year pancreas transplant survival
– SPK 90% – PAK 76% – PTA 72%
• One-year kidney graft survival with SPK 91% • Ten-year SPK patient survival 67%
